Application filed October 20, 1921. Serial No. 509,106.

1' '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK Gonnrz, a citizen of the United States,residing at- Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination BagFrames and Vanity or Powder Boxes; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full. clear, and exact description of the invention. such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make anduse the same, reference being had to the ac.- companying drawings, andto characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

This invention relates, generally, to improvements in bag-frames, andmore particularly to that class of hinged frame-sections which are usedin the construction of ladies hand-bags, and the like; and, furthermore.to the provision of a vanity or powder-box, which is adapted to containfacepowder and a powder-puff, to the hinged frame-sections of the bag ina manner, that the lid or cover of the vanity or powder-- box can beopened Without separating the two frame-sections, but when desired toget at the contents of the bag, that the two framesections of the long:may be broughtinto their opened relation. without disturbing therelative position of the vanity or powder-box.

The present invention, therefore, has for its principal objects toprovide Firstly :A bag-frame comprising a pair of hinged or pivotallyconnected frame-seetions, and a vanity or powder-box mounted to andcarried by one of said frame-sections:

Secondlvz-A bag-frame comprising a pair of hinged or pivotally connectedframese .-,t-ions. and a vanity or powder-box mount ed to and carried byone of said framesections, said vanity or powder box being provided witha closing lid or cover which can be raised for getting atthe contents ofthe vanity or powder-box. without the ne cessity of separating oropening the framesections of the bag, but "which will allow or permit ofthe two frame-sections of the bag also to be separated or openedif sodesired 'llhirdlvz-To provide in combination with the hingedframe-sections of a bag and a. vanity or powderbox mounted to andcartried by one of said frameseotions, a locle ing means or latcharranged in a manner that said locking means or latch Wllltlt one andthe same time mamtain the rlosod or locked relation of both the said'frazheeet-Q t1ons and ot the lid or cover of the vanity or ponder-box.I

Fourthly:--'llo provide in combination with the hinged framesections ofa bag'a nd a vanity or powder-box mounted to and can stead of about theouter surface-po'rtions of the said sidewall. as heretofore.

And finallyz-0ther objects of the present invention not at this timemore particularly enumerated will be clearly understood from thefollowin detaileddescription of i the present invention.

\Vith the various objects of the present invention in View, thesaidinvontion consists, primarily, in the novel combined bag frame andvanity or powder-box hereinafter more fully set forth and. the saidinvention consists furthermore, in the novel arrangements andcombinations of the various devises and parts. as well as in the detailsof theronstructiou of the said parts, all of which will be described indetail in the followinp specifi ation. and then linullv embodied in theclauses of the claims. whirh arc appended to and which form ane:--.-'ent ial part of the said speoiliration.

The invention is illustrated in the zlrvufl't panvinndrawings, in "whichFigure 'l is a front elevation of a com binod hawlramo and vanity or})l)\\lil-l 0f(, shoninn' one embodiment of the prim'iples of thepresent invention; and l iggzure 2 a side edge-view of the same, lookingin ll c dirertion of the arrow in in said, l ie'ure 1.

view representing also in connection therewith, in dotted outline, theopened relation of the two frame-sections to one another; and Figure 6is a transverse vertical sectional representation of the main portionsof the combined bag-frame and vanity or powder-box, said section beingtaken on line 66 in said Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrowas, and said view being made on a slightly enlarged scale.

Similar characters of reference are employed in all of the said abovedescribed views, to indicate corresponding parts.

Referring now to the several figures of the drawings, thereference-character l indicates a complete combined bag-frame and vanityor powder-box made according to and embodying theprinciples of thepresent invention, the same comprising two main frame-sections 2 and 3,respectively provided at their free end-portions with registeringpivot-lugs or ears, as 4 and 5, which are perforated in any usualmanner, for the reception of suitable pivot-pins or pintles 6. As shown,the two frame-sections 2 and 3 are respectively provided at theircentrally disposed portions with outwardly and oppositely extendingreceiving members, as 7 and 8, each member being preferably ofsemi-circular configuration,

' as here shown, although this is not necessary, it being possible tomake said members of any other suitable and desirable configuration. Asshown in the several figures of the drawings, the member 7 comprises alower portion 9, forming a part of the frame-section 2, from whichextendsv in an upward direction, a vertical sidewall 10, formed upon itsouter surface with a marginal liange 11, and upon its inner surface withan inwardly projecting supporting flange 12.- In a like manner, themember 8 comprises a lower portion 13, forming a part of theframe-section 3, from which extends in an upward direction, a verticalside-wall 14, formed upon its outer surface with a marginal flange'15,and upon its inner' surface with an inwardly projecting supportingflange 16.

Suitably secured at its ends 18 to the frame section 3, by means ofsolder, or otherwise, is a supporting plate. as 17, upon which ismounted and suitably secured thereto, preferably by means of a rivet 19,a box or shell 20, adapted to contain a powder-puff and face-powder, orthe like. Connected with and extending from the upper portion of themember 8 are pintle-receiv ing ears or lugs 21 for the reception of apintle 22 upon which is pivotally mounted by means of an ear or lug 23 asuitably formed cover or lid-member, as 24. Suitably secured against thelower surface of the said cover or lid-member 24, n'ef rabl v by meansof a rivet or pin 25, is a box-cover 26 bounded by a downwardlyextending marginal closing flange 27, adapted when the several parts ofthe device are in their closed relation, to enter within the upperportion of the powderreceiving box or'shell 20, so as to form a closurefor the same, as will be clearly evident. Suitably disposed against theinner surface of said box-cover 26 there may be a mirror, as 28,suitably held in place by means of a suitably formed retaining ring orframe 29, which is forced into frictional holding engagement with theinner surface-portions of the marginal closing flange 27, or may beotherwise secured thereto, as will be evident.

As shown, the upper end-portion of the above-mentioned rivet or pin 25,extends through the cover or lid-member '24, and above the outer orupper surface of the latter, to provide a lock-stud or post 30., for thepurposes to be presently more fully set forth.

Connected with and extending from the member '7 are pintle-receivingears or lugs 31 for the reception of a pintle 32 upon which is pivotallymounted .by means of a perforated ear or lug 33 a suitably formedlatch-bar or arm, as 34, which is provided near its free end-portionwith a receiving hole or perforation 35, and a finger-piece or knob 36,formed with a receiving socket 37, which is located directly over saidhole or perforation 35, and serves toreceive the said lock-stud or post30, when the two frame-sections 2 and 3, and cover or lidmember 24 havebeenv brought into their closed relation, when the said latch-bar or arm34 has been forced into frictional holding or locked engagement with thesaid lock-stud or post 30, substantially as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and6 of the drawings.

Asshown, the said frame-sections 2 and 3', and the portions 9 and 13 ofthe respective receiving members 7 and 8 are usually provided withthread-receiving holes or perforations, as 38, for the sewing fast tothe said members mentioned, of the usual bag-body; but, it will beclearly understood, however, that the said bag-body may be secured tothe said members by means of any other suitablyv constructed fasteningdevices.

The manner of operating the latch-bar or arm 34, for either raising thecover or lidmember 24, and the box-cover 2Gconnected therewith. to getat the contents of the vanity or powder-box, or for the purpose ofseparating the hinged frame-sections 2 and 3, to get at the contents ofthe bag will be clearly understood from the foregoing description andfrom an inspection of the several figures of the drawings, andespecially of Figures 5 and 6, and any further detailed description ofthe same is therefore deemed unnecessary.

Of course, I am fully aware, that various changes may be made in thegeneral arrangements and combinations of the several devices and parts,as'wcll as in the details of the construction of the said parts, withoutdeparting from the scope of the present in- .vention as set forth in theforegoing specification. Hence. 1 do not limit my present invention tothe exact arrangements and combinations of the several devices and partsas described in the said specification, nor do I confine myself to theexact details of the construction of the said parts, as illustrated inthe accompanying drawings.
